The first Bondi blue iMac, Sillybandz, and trading Pokémon cards. Feeling nostalgic yet? These three things have one characteristic in common: they were all around when millennials were kids. As most of our likes and dislikes come from childhood impressions, those who grew up in the '90s will always have a soft spot for these things.

Luckily, there are pages online that preserve our memory of this iconic decade. Like the "I was born in the 1990s" Facebook page, dedicated to nostalgic content relevant to that era. With its 1 million followers, it boasts a community of like-minded '90s kids hungry for a taste of their wonderful formative years.

Since everything these days seems to be about nostalgia, from movie remakes to old-school Nokias coming back in style, Bored Panda sought some expertise about using '90s nostalgia in marketing. Social media marketing guru Peg Fitzpatrick kindly agreed to tell us more about the power of the '90s in marketing. Read her expert insights below!

You would assume the depression in that area could be linked to wonka closing the factory and using unpaid foreign labor

    "Nostalgia is like a time-traveling magnet for consumer behavior," says Peg Fitzpatrick, a social media marketing consultant for small businesses. "It doesn't just tug at heartstrings; it wraps them around entire marketing strategies."

    "People love revisiting the '90s because it was a simpler time of slap bracelets and dial-up internet—nostalgia taps into that longing for the good ol' days. Social media marketers can wield this powerful tool by creating content that resonates with these fond memories, from throwback ads to retro-themed product launches. After all, who wouldn't want to relive the days of TGIF and neon scrunchies?" Peg asks.

    "Nostalgia isn't just a wistful glance in the rearview mirror; it's a powerhouse in consumer behavior that marketers can't ignore," Peg explains the psychology behind using nostalgia for marketing.

    "It taps into our innate desire for connection and comfort, transporting us back to when things seemed simpler and more carefree. Whether it's reminiscing about Saturday morning cartoons or the thrill of collecting Pokémon cards, nostalgia evokes strong emotions and a sense of longing for the past."

    According to Fitzpatrick, nostalgia works so well in marketing because it feels so personal. "From a marketing perspective, nostalgia serves as a powerful tool to engage audiences on a deeper level."

    "Brands can leverage nostalgia to create authentic connections with consumers by tapping into shared cultural experiences and memories. This can be seen in campaigns that resurrect iconic '90s brands or icons, evoking a sense of familiarity and nostalgia that resonates with both longtime fans and younger generations," Peg points out.

    This just reminded me about something, I'm not sure if I've recalled, since it happened. So I was in elementary school and we created a giant underwater world that we could walk inside of. We took sheets of almost like giant saran wrap and taped them together, it took up almost the entire gymnasium. Once it was taped up air tight, these big industrial air blowers were turned on and made it into a humongous bubble, almost. Us kids got to draw and add our own pieces to the aquarium theme and I remember no one was allowed to wear shoes inside but it was big enough for many adults and kids could fit inside it comfortably. I think maybe because we did the parachute in gym, at this time is what made me remember this. So thanks for this happy memory I had. 😊

    Ours had a mesh circle in the center and when you tossed it up for kids to run under it, it looked like a spotlight moving back and forth. Felt like a game show!

    Nostalgia is also a good way to build brand loyalty. "When consumers associate positive emotions with a brand's nostalgic elements, they are more likely to develop a strong affinity for that brand and remain loyal over time," Peg explains. "This emotional connection goes beyond product features or pricing—it's about fostering a relationship built on shared experiences and values."

    Social media makes it even easier for brands to harvest nostalgia. "[It allows] brands to engage with consumers in real-time conversations about their favorite memories and cultural touchstones," Peg says.

    "Whether through throwback posts, retro-themed campaigns, or limited-edition reissues of classic products, marketers can create immersive brand experiences that tap into the universal appeal of nostalgia."

    There's a place near here that still has this! Lol it actually has all kinds of cool stuff. I spend most of my time at the pool table, or in the HALO simulator. Or at the bar. Which got me in a pretty risky situation once, involving having a few too many and playing pool drunk, winning, being accused of cheating by the random middle aged guy that early-20s me was playing with, getting into a fight with him and winning that, and being escorted out of the place. Thankfully I have connections that work there so I wasn't permanently banned😆 that was also the night I got a dart stuck in the 20ft ceiling because my friend's date dared me to throw it there. That was a wild night. Almost got arrested too... But I should shut my mouth. This has not much to do with this post.

    I have a domain that is based on my last name and the email address of all my family members is just their first name. Like mike@smith.com. My daughter had to make business cards in elementary school and put her email address on it. Another kid gave her c**p because they didn't believe it was her real email address. Still is to this day.

    Surprisingly, those born in the 2000s and even the 2010s love the '90s, too. They're as responsive (if not more) to '90s nostalgia campaigns as millennials are. The pop music "It" girl of Gen Z, Olivia Rodrigo, for example, masterfully uses her love for the '90s aesthetics both in her music and in her marketing campaigns.

    This is definitely not something I had as a child. When I was little, you bought biscuits and cheese from the market. But meat was from the butcher. And plastic was virtually non-existent. Meat and cheese were wrapped in newspaper. And biscuits came in a cardboard box or paper bag. These snack packs were something I didn't discover until I moved to the US in the 2010s.

    Peg takes Ulta Beauty's Hello Kitty campaign as another example. According to her, it exemplifies the art of blending timeless appeal with contemporary flair. "From themed makeup collections to skincare products adorned with Hello Kitty motifs, these campaigns capture the hearts of both longtime fans and new audiences alike."

    "By tapping into cultural icons that transcend generations, brands can forge connections that go beyond mere consumerism, fostering a sense of nostalgia and community."

    So, do the '90s no longer belong to the people who actually grew up in the nineties? "Demographics in '90s nostalgia are as diverse as a Saved by the Bell reunion episode," Peg quips.

    "Sure, millennials who grew up with Game Boys and Tamagotchis are prime targets. But don't underestimate the allure for Gen Z and even Gen Xers—they're all craving a taste of that Walkman-wearing, Beanie Baby-collecting era."

    Lot of posts about Now being from the 80s. It was, but not in the US. We got our first Now! album in 1998. It looks like it originally began in 1983 in Europe. So, given that the internet was much less common in the 90s, it checks out we wouldnt know it originated elsewhere, and it was super popular, so yes, its a 90s thing... For us.

    Flip phones, Tamagotchis, and cassettes coming back in fashion has little to do with when people were born, apparently. "Nostalgia in marketing isn't just about age," Peg confirms. "It's about tapping into shared cultural touchstones that transcend generations. After all, who doesn't smile at the thought of Blockbuster Friday nights and dial-up internet woes?"

    Remember the original Aibo dog by Sony? It was expensive enough to trick us into thinking that it would actually a decent substitute for a real dog, but acrually was barely more functional than rhe usual £10 ones.

    I'm old enough that I remember Gwen when she still made good music with the band. 'Tragic Kingdom' and all that, great stuff. By the time this 'Hollaback Girl' nonsense started Gwen Stefani had become a joke to me and my friends. Disposable disco c**p from someone who had previously demonstrated she was capable of much more.

    I mean, in the 90s there was a UK Indian sketch show called Goodness Gracious Me, and I'm sure one of the characters would often say "kiss my chuddies" in a way that very much suggested certain male parts.

    isn't chuddy an Indian slang for a male body part? Goodness Gracious Me always made it seem that way

    Rumors came out of one area the different colors/ shape meant the kid did a certain sex act. And it was unbelievable that kids could even imagine some of the kinks attached. I am an adult and was like no way no how kids were doing certain things. Pre internet everywhere.

    I think most of us learned that from television, though. As an adult, I realized that if a farmer saw a kid in one of their fields, they'd likely just shrug and carry on, not immediately be filled with homicidal rage.
